Shouldn't there be a tobacco pipe floating above her head? Symmetries break - that is where all the fun hides in plain sight. Even better, the word "pipe" rather than the object. When somebody comments, say "it's really a metaphoric apple."

A background of violent vortices in heavy paint, perhaps as a Penrose tiling, gets the critics humming and the price up. What is true art but a tax avoidance mechanism for more deserving others?
